In 2016, a self-made millionaire spoke about how he built his businesses and mentioned the importance of having a website for your business.

In 2017, we taught a class on the ubiquitous nature of Facebook. The speaker stated if you had not created a Facebook page for your business, someone else had created one for you.

Between 2017 and 2018, the number of Septic Tank business pages on Facebook has skyrocketed. Many septic tank pumping business owners & managers heard the call to market pumping businesses for free on Facebook. Good job!

2011 NC GENERAL ASSEMBLY convened on January 26, 2011.  In the face of revenue shortfalls and budget cuts, some NC government agencies want to assess new fees.  Our lobbyists are working to prevent any increase in fees for the septage management industry.

Congratulations to former Representative Lucy Allen, confirmed in 2010 as a new member of the NC Utilities Commission.  She sponsored legislation for us in 2009.

Several members have had problems with vandalism of property. We addressed this problem with the help of Rep. Lucy Allen and Sen. Doug Berger of the NC General Assembly. 

Rep. Lucy Allen introduced House Bill #616 and Sen. Doug Berger introduced Senate Bill #714.  The House bill “Offense of Pumper Portable Toilet/Pumper Trucks” moved first, passed the House, passed the Senate, and was signed into law by Governor Beverly Perdue on May 27, 2009.  For the text of the law, click here to see SL2009-37.

The NC General Assembly will next convene on May 12, 2010.  If you are interested in legislative issues, please do not hesitate to contact our lobbyist Joe McClees.
